    Which browser are you using? Can you give me an example? I've revamped the copy/paste in order to make it a little nicer but I may have busted something. (If you're using FireFox 2 then you could be in trouble: Paste on that was flaky and has been discontinued on the assumption that Firefox makes it painfully difficult to stick to an outmoded version)

      I'm using FF 3.0.7 and now it doesn't work for me either (it used to work earlier). If I paste a URL, it gets pasted as text. I think the revamping didn't go very well. :)

        WTF!?! It's always worked fine for me on FF2. Why did you have to turn it off? So just tell people it's flakey on FF2 and leave it at that. Tell them you won't listen to any complaints on FF2. But please turn it back on. I have no choice about what browser I use for most of the day. Please!

        Best wishes, Hans

        I don't think it's a case of deliberately turning it off, as much a case of not trying to support it and letting it stay broke after some other updates bust it.

            Actually it was the combination of auto-encoding HTML and pasting that was not working properly. FireFox 3 supports the 'paste' event which 2X doesn't. 3% (FF2) of our Firefox users (39%) use Firefox 2.0. If it's important for you personally that I support Firefox 2 for 0.78% of our users then I'll do it.

                As per the subject - pasting a URL into a text used to create a nice set of <a> tags, with the selected text as the displayed link text. That no longer happens, on Chrome or Firefox (Windows) or Safari or Firefox (OS X). Sorry if it's a repost/known issue, but it's one of those features you really miss when it disappears.
